If you’ve ever thought the computers in the Star Wars universe would have high-tech security systems, think again! In Star Wars Outlaws, hacking—or “slicing”—is surprisingly simple. It’s like a game of Mastermind, where the right equipment makes all the difference.
How to Slice in Star Wars Outlaws
Slicing in Star Wars Outlaws involves breaking a secret code using symbols. Here’s how it works:
- Gray Symbol: Not in the sequence.
- Yellow Symbol: In the sequence, but wrong position.
- Blue Symbol: In the sequence, correct position.
As you progress, the puzzles get more complex, but a handy trick involves connected symbols. When symbols are linked by white lines on the selection screen, only one from that group is in the sequence. This can help you eliminate multiple options at once.
How to Get a Slicing Kit
A Slicing Kit allows you to slice into systems even without a terminal, expanding your hacking capabilities. To get one:
- Complete the ‘Underworld’ and ‘New Tricks’ quests: This is essential to unlock the option.
- Visit Danka in Jaunta’s Hope: Danka will guide you to the slicer you need to meet.
- Complete the Slicer quest: This quest requires you to infiltrate a heavily-armed Imperial base, but the reward is worth it—a Slicing Kit for Kay Vess!
Unlocking the Star Wars Outlaws Slicing Kit
Once you have the Slicing Kit, you’ll be able to hack and manipulate a variety of devices beyond simple computers. The quest to obtain it, called “The Slicer,” is unlocked after pursuing the “Underworld Rumors” Intel revealed after completing the “New Tricks” mission.
Here’s how to complete the quest:
- Go to Makal’s Gambling Parlor: Eavesdrop on a conversation to learn about top slicer Aila Bren.
- Meet Aila’s Contact: Located in the Crimson Dawn District, this interaction sets the stage for the quest.
- Infiltrate an Imperial Base: Stealth is key. Use Nix to assist or take out technicians to retrieve an Imperial code sequencer.
- Complete the Mission: Disable security systems and reach the base’s control tower to deactivate turbolasers.
After completing these steps, return to Makal’s Gambling Parlor to claim your Slicing Kit. This kit allows Kay to access restricted areas and tackle more advanced hacking challenges throughout the game.
Advanced Slicing Tips
Once you have the Slicing Kit, you can unlock further upgrades to make slicing easier. Focus on the Slice Kit Upgrade, which requires a Code Breaker Chip. This upgrade adds Jokers—limited-use perks that simplify the slicing minigame by giving you more chances or eliminating incorrect symbols.
